A fundamentalist party performed strongly in elections, Moroccan government officials said. A party leader said they expected to double their seats in parliament.  

 

Official results were still unavailable Saturday morning. Government officials told AP the Party of Justice and Development, the only Islamic group in parliament, registered strong gains. The PJD previously had 14 seats in the legislature's 325-seat lower house. (Albawaba.com)
